Bounties for G.A.R, Veterans, 
Grand Army veterans in this section 
are greatly interested in the bill, en- 
dorsed *by the General Court: this 
week, providing for the payment of a 
$125 bounty to each surviving Massa- 
chusetts soldier of the Civil War who 
has not already received ‘a’ bounty. 
The bill was introduced by Rep. Scho- 
field.of Ipswich, and calls for an appro- 
priation of $350,000. re 
Ever since the war, but more par- 
ticularly within the last decade, the 
legislature has been called upon to pay 
over the bounty money promised at 
the time of enlistment, but which was 
never paid to hundredsand. thousands 
of the soldiers., It was originally in- 
tended that the citiesand towns should 
pay this bounty. The supreme court 
having ruled that the cities and towns 
could not pay money out for this pur- 
pose, the veterans claim the State is 
morally liable for the obligation. 
So.many applications. had been 
madé, last year the general, court 
authorized the adjutant-general tolook 
into the matter, with the result that 
over 2,500 eligible. applicants are re- 
ported: * sme | 
The ways and ~means committee 
recommended the rejection of the 
bill;; but the House Tuesday voted 
down the rejection and placed their 
endorsement on it by giving the bill a 
place in the order of the day. 
The following names. have’ been”:

this vicinity as eligible for the.bounty ;

We put on the best RUBBER TIRES on the market. Don’t forget the Name and Number. 
was considerable difference of opinion 
as. to whether the change would be 
advisable. The chief argument in 
favor was that during the’ warm 
‘weather the children would get home 
at noon and would not be obliged to 
go back and forth to the school in the 
hottest part of the day. 
The objection put forth by the par- 
entsis that children not getting home 
until one o’clock in the afternoon 
would be unable to get a warm dinner, 
and a good meal in the middle of the 
day is‘considered essential for a grow- 
ing boy or girl. Besides it would en- 
taila great deal of trouble on the part 
of the house-wife to keep the dinner 
from twelve, the time when many of 
the parents return from work, until 
one, when the children would return 
from school. 
After considering the various pros 
and cons the committee decided that 
it would not be advisable; for the. 
present, at least, to change the hours.: 
Real-Estate Improvement. 
Building operations in Manchester 
have not been so marked this year as 
in years past, yet there has been con- 
siderable improvements going on 
among the summer estates, several 
additions having been made to houses 
and several new houses having been 
erected. ) 
Among the new residences that 
have been erected since last season, 
and made ready for occupancy this 
year none is more notable than the 
immense mansion bnilt for E. S. 
Grew at Tuck’s Point. Commanding 
an envious position on the top of the 
hill where the-Jate Dr. Bartol spent 
his summers for years, the Grew 
house is undoubtedly one of the best 
placed, as far as ocean scenery is con- 
cerned, on the whole North Shore. 
The house was. begun last season, 
but it was not completed «till» well
